• Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, as well as information on how we process it. This is sometimes called a “Data Subject Access Request.”
• Right to Rectification: If any of your information is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request corrections or updates. We encourage you to correct this by updating your profile in our app or contacting us.
• Right to Erasure: You can ask us to delete your personal data under certain circumstances – for example, if the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, or if you withdraw consent and no other legal basis for processing exists. This is also known as the “right to be forgotten.” Note that we may need to retain some data for legal reasons (e.g., records of transactions for financial reporting).
• Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we limit the processing of your data in certain scenarios, such as while we verify your data correction requests or if you object to our processing and we are considering your request.
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to obtain your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to request that we transmit it to another controller when possible (this generally applies to information you have provided to us and is processed by us by automated means, where the processing is based on your consent or performance of a contract).
• Right to Object: You can object to certain processing activities, particularly when we process your data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing. For example, you can object to receiving marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link, or object to any data analysis we perform for our legitimate interests by contacting us with your specific request.
• Right Not to be Subject to Automated Decision-Making: We do not currently make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects solely based on automated decision-making (like profiling algorithms). If we ever introduce such processes, you would have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing without human involvement, in cases where it significantly affects you.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: If we rely on your consent for any processing (like sending promotional SMS, or accessing health data related to golf fitness if we ever did), you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the legality of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

• Right to Know: You have the right to request details about the specific pieces and categories of personal information we have collected about you in the last 12 months, the categories of sources of that information, the purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
• Right to Delete: Similar to GDPR’s erasure right, California residents can request deletion of the personal information we have collected from them (subject to certain exceptions like completing a transaction, security, legal compliance, etc.).
• Right to Correct: You can request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: As noted earlier, GolfGuiders does not sell personal information for money, nor do we share it for targeted advertising in a way that falls under “selling” or “sharing” as defined by the CPRA. If that changes, we will provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link or mechanism for you to opt out.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: The CPRA gives California residents the right to limit how a business uses “sensitive personal information” if it’s used for secondary purposes. We do not use sensitive personal information (like precise geolocation, if collected, or any account log-in credentials, etc.) for purposes outside what is necessary to provide the Services (unless with your consent). If in the future we intend to use sensitive info for additional purposes, we will provide an opt-out or consent mechanism as required.
• Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. That means we won’t deny you our Services, charge you different prices, or provide a different level of quality just because you exercised your privacy rights. However, please understand that fulfilling certain requests (like deletion) might prevent us from providing services (for example, if you ask us to delete all your data, we cannot maintain your account).

• How to Make a Request: To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section below. Please specify which right you wish to exercise and provide information to verify your identity (we need to ensure it’s really you). For example, we might ask you to confirm certain account details or use our standard authentication measures. If you have an account, you can often expedite requests by making certain changes directly in your profile or settings.
• Authorized Agents (for California): If you are a California resident, you may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. We will require proof of the authorization (like a signed permission) and still take steps to verify the identity of the agent or yourself (for security, we might ask you to confirm directly that you provided the agent permission).
• Response Time: We aim to respond to privacy requests as quickly as possible. Under GDPR, we typically have one month (extendable by two more months for complex requests). Under CCPA/CPRA, we aim to confirm receipt within 10 days and substantively respond within 45 days (extendable by another 45 days if needed). If we need more time, we’ll let you know why and keep you updated.
• Additional Guidance: Sometimes, laws provide specific guidance on how to exercise rights. For example, CCPA regulations might require a separate toll-free number or a web form for certain requests. We will provide those methods if applicable. As of now, email contact is sufficient for most cases, but please check our website for any updated instructions or tools (we may introduce an in-app privacy dashboard or form for easier requests in the future).

• Account Settings: You can access and update much of your personal data by logging into your account and editing your profile or settings. For example, you can change your display name, update contact information, or modify preferences.
• Marketing Preferences: As mentioned, you can opt-out of marketing communications. Use the unsubscribe link in emails, or adjust settings in the app (if available). Even if you opt-out of marketing, we may still send you necessary service or transactional communications (like an appointment reminder, account alert, or payment receipt).
• Location & Device Permissions: Through your device or browser settings, you can control whether we have access to things like your location, camera (for uploading a profile picture or scanning a QR code, etc.), or push notifications. It’s entirely your choice to grant or revoke these permissions, though some features may not function without them (e.g., a feature that suggests nearby golf courses won’t work without location permission).
• Cookies Preferences: Discussed above in Cookies and Tracking Technologies, you have control over cookies and tracking. You can opt out of third-party personalized ads by using tools like the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out or Your Online Choices (for EU users), or on mobile by resetting your advertising ID.
• Closing Your Account: If you decide to stop using our Services, you have the option to delete your account. You can typically find this option in your account settings, or you can contact us for assistance. Please note that if you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except for information we are required or permitted to retain (see Data Retention below).
